My blood pressure has always been low or normal. I have been on a diet for three weeks now, where I'm eating only chicken, fish, turkey, fresh veggies, two fruits a day (none after 2pm), two yogurts (or acidophilus milk protein smoothies) and drinking only green tea or at least 64oz of water a day. I have lost 12lbs so far. I am also exercising 5-6 times a week, for 2-2.5 hours a day- which includes Zumba, cardio, and weights. I took my blood pressure today, and it was 148/85? I took it a second time and it was 140/80. What is going on? I am on medications- the only ones being Wellbutrin, tri sprintec, and Omeprazole. I have been on these for many months before this diet starting, and my blood pressure was normal then. What is going on?View Thread
